In this episode, we discuss UK transportation and the north-south divide.
UK transport infrastructure has seen improvements, primarily concentrated around London.
This includes the development of smart motorways and the new Elizabeth line, alongside London's extensive existing transport network and status as a global travel hub.
However, a north-south divide persists, with the south generally experiencing better economic and social indicators, including wages, health, and education.
HS2, a planned high-speed rail link aiming to connect the north and south, faces significant delays and cost concerns, highlighting existing disparities in transport quality.
